Victorian Silk and Burr Oak Acorn Emery Pin Cushion mountain landscaoe 5 " l x 2Such an array of marvelous antique emeries and pin cushions out there! I've seen some making use of walnut shells, but this is the first I've seem make of a Burr Oak acorn, which I love for its delicate spiky texture, almost like a durian fruit. And, if you look at it from the bottom of the acorn end, it looks like it has a little face, with the stem making a nose! And, with some green ribbon around the middle, it looks a bit like a strawberry too.
